My lady wife has very kindly treated me to a Proxxon Scroll saw, about which I have two questions.
What's the rule(s) for determining which blades to use for what? (My choice is from the selection of Pégas ones which comes with the saw.)
And what's the secret to getting it to follow a marked line of cut? Yes the blade is cutting on the down stroke, it's in properly and it's tensioned, but it seems that however I go about making a cut in ply (from 2mm to 6mm), the cut wants to wander - and always the same way. If I try to make a straight cut, I end up having to angle the marked line off to my left by about 3° (i.e. if viewed from above, the work needs to be rotated clockwise relative to the front-back axis of the table). And if I try to follow a gentle curve (a 4" rad or so), it wants to wander all over.
Any suggestions please guys? Right now this is driving me nuts!
